The Raven

By: Edgar Allan Poe

[First published in 1845]

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
`'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more,'

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
`Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'
Merely this and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
`Surely,' said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
'Tis the wind and nothing more!'

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as `Nevermore.'

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
`Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore
Of "Never-nevermore."'

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
`Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

I am an undefined character..just a new page in your book!

So I am a new Sales Associate at the Coach Store. Today was my first day in training, and it has been a blast so far! I am really thankful that I've been given an opportunity to work for such a great company. I will be learning more customer service skills, selling techniques, get to know customers as well as product, invoices, stocking, gift wrapping/packaging, All of the above. This fits perfect with my major which is Fashion Merchandising/Marketing. I'm just glad that I'm able to gain experience before hand. It also prepares you for the workforce. We have to wear a uniform that consists of black/grey pants or skirt, a white blouse, black sweater or blazer, black closed toe shoes, and minimum accessories. This will prepare me for future jobs to come. The one thing that I love the most is that we are all working toward a common goal..and have contest, also are able to win coach bucks according to our sales goal, this really motivates me to do well at work..its something that I look forward to! I feel that this goal setting will encourage me to achieve my goals. Last but not least we get a 50% discount....heck yeah!

The four letter word that is often misused


I am an undefined character..just a new page in your book!

LOVE is the word that is often misused. People often mistake luv for love..more like lust for love, but there is a difference. Luv- is an object or item that you can live without..that you don't constantly need or want to have. Love- is an actual feeling..often mutual..a connection between you and another person..chemistry in other words. You may desire Love..but it can either make or break you. That's why you should be in tune with your feelings. Know what you want and don't want out of a relationship. Well that's what dating is for. Just because you date someone..doesn't mean that those days of joy will last forever. The beggining is ecstatic then it gets tough..but if you really want it..you must compromise and fight for love. Some people are just not meant to be together..and they waste their time fighting..making up and breaking up..most of it is infatuation. Mainly because that person may be the only person that probably accepted you for who you are..in other words..all your BULLSHIT.. I want people to stop getting stuck in unhealthy situations. Some people move so fast..till the point there's nothing else left to explore..and yes I've experienced this and will never do it again! PEOPLE you have to know your worth..and just don't accept anything from anyone. You have your own opinions..and just be cuz you may like or love a person..doesn't make their opinion right all the time. Remember that you matter..and you deserve better!. Learn to give people chances. You never know what you may learn. Everyone that you encounter is not meant to be your significant other. Some are here to test you..teach you something..there's a lot to learn. A good relationship is when both persons have goals and they work together to accomplish them..and motivate each other. In other words a "POWER COUPLE"!!!!! And I sooo wanna be a power couple one day. Learn to accept one another's differences, and actually hear each other out to understand both viewpoints. You don't have to be perfect..because no one is. Most are often insecure in relationships..due to past heartaches which it makes it hard to trust one another. Some may be accused of cheating, may constantly fight, look at the negative, etc. If you want your relationship to work..you must say to yourself.."I understand that I have been hurt in the past, but I am willing to risk my heart to enter a new relationship in which I may or may not get hurt but I will be prepared for anything, I will enjoy the time, but will not try to hold onto something that is not there...I will live..love..learn..and grow..and not be stuck in the past." See some also say "I love you" and actually don't mean it..they play each other because they are hurt themselves..they may even judge..ridicule..or criticize you to your lowest point..remember you are not a slave..you do not have to say yes to everything. And you should never accept abuse..the abuser is most likely a punk and has issues of their own (insecurity).. I just really want people to get out here and start talking about how they feel..and stop displaying all this fake shit!..It really gets on my nerves!..If you have something to talk about..make it known..because your voice counts..Make good decisions/judgements..lovely's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My views on Abortion


I am an undefined character..just a new page in your book!

This topic called ABORTION comes up in many peoples lives..and I would like to give my point of view and also get feed back on other people's opinion. I believe that we all are entitled to our own opinions. So I view abortion as murder. I would never consider having abortion because I believe that children are born for a reason, no matter the circumstance. It is an option to a few. I believe that children are a gift. I just think about well what if my mom aborted me. I believe that some of these decisions are made selfishly. Some people don't think about the child at hand. They only think about themselves. Prime example: "I'm not ready for a child"... 9 times out of 10 you know what you're doing before you do it. So you should be able to handle a situation at any cause. You have 9 months to figure things out. God makes a way out of no way. Yes, some are worried about providing a good life for their child. That's where adoption comes up as another choice. Then if the child is born..the baby daddy don't wanna stay and take care of the child, cuz he's scared..and life's moving to fast. "Your dick was moving fast also..and did you stop..."NO!" Some people don't understand the severity of these situations. That's why its always good to plan for these types of things. I think abortion is like playing God..just like most of these science experiments. If something is meant to happen..guaranteed it will happen! I just want people to think smart out here. This is not all fun and games. If you have sex..have it protected. Please be aware that even if you are wearing protection, you can still get pregnant..because the condom can break. When you have sex with someone..make sure its someone you know ..or at least have gotten to know. Also ask there views on pregnancy..abortion..etc..and what are their plans. Remember..some people may have a whole different outlook on life..than you do..and may not take it as serious as you. It is always ok and important to ask questions..for no one can read your mind. Be direct and upfront with your situation..and do not be ashamed. Also get tested before you have sex with someone..and make sure your partner does also. There is a high rate of HIV..and Std's going around...so protect yourselves. Most important..never give up or compromise your ideals for selfish measures but do think about and view both sides of the situation..to make the best decision for you both. And if you do something you may regret, pray to God and ask for forgiveness. But do not obsessively repeat these things..for you have not learned anything with doing so. Make sure you learn from your mistakes so you can move forward in your life...THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING.. P.S. If you have children..take care of them..love them..teach them..help them grow to be beautiful people..that can spread their goodness towards others..for they are blessings!!!!!!!!
